TTC Thread 14 ... Santa knows what we want for Christmas

evening girls, just gonna read thru and see what every ones up to, hiya again kizzy.

Welcome Kizzy212 , hope things happen quickly for you and look fwd to chatting with you ++++++++++++++++++++++

hi, have been told to join. gonna read and catch up. new to this.

hi all - big congrats to wilbur & piff thant's great news.

I tested again & got another bfn. I'm now convinced I'm not pg & feel strangely much calmer & less mental, but curious as to where af might be, as I'm now on cd30/25.

how're you feeling, beckif? and any news from you footstep?

Huge congratulations to Wilbur and Piffle, enjoy the next the nine months x

Tania, great solution to the whole cake thing, and fun to have a secret with dh too, hope the party goes well tomorrow.

CD28 here, not much sign of af, feeling a bit crampy but also keep feeling pukey too, particularly after I eat - not trying to think about things too much don't realy think it's my month and have ages to go before I would think about testing - with having had 37 day cycles after mc, can't really think about testing before CD38 or can I?

Welcome back Piffolofagus, I remember you from ttc10 (although I might have had my old name back then).

Wahay to Wilbur and Piffle for cheering us ALLLLLLLLL up!

Big hugs and well done!!!!

Oh wow Piff! Missed yours too - congratulations Fab news!

Congratulations Piffle Always lovely to hear of another success story!

Congratulations Wilbur Just what this thread needs right now

Thanks Geordie - I'll try that. I don't know much about the Persona have to say. Is it pretty reliable? How does it work?

Have just read through most of this thread, after having not posted since ttc 10, we moved house and kinda gave up for a bit, the charting and stuff, it was getting me down...
We have had massive tummy bug through the house and dd 2 has been puking for about a month, well today I realised I was 8 days overdue, tested and
BFP...
Am slightly stunned, mostly wondering when, as we have been so tired, the last few weeks!!!
OMG...
Good luck to everyone else still trying, do not give up, this was 14 mths in the frying pan....
Wow, still shocked...
lots of love piff

Night night tania

Thanks geordie. I will do that. But i still seem to think that it wont happen this month i have only been able to bd once since my af finished and that was this morning have had no cm at all so far so hopfully i havent oved yet.
Well i must go to bed now its 1am and i have a huge day tomorrow with ds 2nd birthday party. hope you are all having a great day and i may get the chance to read all the goss when everyone has left and ds is having his afternoon snooze.
Good night everyone. xxxx

Tania keep bding up to cd 14....you should have ov by then...then dh can have a few days rest and the test can be done then...you should have it in for the beginning of december and results should take 10 days max!

hth

I have a question for anyone that has had there dh/dp sperm tested. the form says that he cant have a release for no less than 2 days and no more than 5. i dont want him to waste it IYKWIM and he has to have the test done and results back b4 my op on the 15th of Dec. Iam on CD9 and iam meant to be ov but i dont think iam i have a 24 to 27 day cycle. hope this all makes sence?????

I was asking about you hester....but would of course love to hear from ttoks too!

I know what you mena about the grief. It was only 23 months for me with ds but I remember being in total agony (and I haven't been so unfortunate as to m/c)...no-one understood and there was nothing anyone could say. I almost lost my faith (ministers wife looses faith....!!) but alas somehow I got thru it. During that time i posted on another site...I must say that here on mumsnet the community is much more personal..and that we share our emotions more freely. Even now (on cycle 3) I remember how I felt and I am so scared that we will go through that again. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, ever.

Being a mummy is a wonderful thing (and I sometimes feel i am being selfsih for wanting another child) and I hope and pray that everyone here get's to know that experience for themselves.

Oh hester i feel for you at such a hard time that you are going through. it must have just gutted you hearing about your friend but it doesnt mean that it will happen to you. big warm (((hugs)))) from me to you and i hope that the pain eases soon.

Congratulations Wilbur and such a lovely msg you posted best of luck with your scan will be thinking of you. xxx
Well iam still up and its nearly 12:30 Made DS birthday cake......what a flop it was too flat and i just didnt want to bake another one and put cream in it iykwim so i went to the supermarket at 10:30 at night and bought one and decorated it myself dh and i have made the agreement that we tell noone that it is a bought cake especially since he helped what a great housewife iam he he he.

Think I'm with you on the non-chemcal thing for def.......after 6 months of ttc #1, been prescribed Clomid as I'mnot oving either.....Clomid is the drug d'jour it seems!

((tooks)) sorry...I checked for bfp's and missed your sad news..although had read it a few days ago...forgive me...my mistake .

thankyou for pointing that out hester.

How are you?

someone was talking about sperm friendly lubricant... on fertility friend chat many go on and on about pre-seed...and in fact one box of pre-seed (about 6 mini tubes) has gotten anout 4 people pregnant!

The other tip that people use if doing anything possible to keep as much sperm in as poss...i.e. using a cap..putting one in after bd..and leaving it for a few hours!! Not sure I'd go that far...but it apparently helps!
